Off Topic BREXIT

They are going to have to get the younger generation off their arses and off social media. At the moment it is too much effort to put a cross on a bit of paper for a lot of them, 43% of young people didn't vote in this referendum apparently.

 

There was an enormous parliamentary struggle to create the NHS that lasted 2 years. The demand for change came from the millions of workers who fought in the Second World War and said no return to the 1930s. So whilst it is true no-one died in the battle to create the NHS, its also true it was won as a result of the sacrifice of hundreds and thousands of British soldiers and civilians killed during the war.

The same is true for free education.

 

If your opinion mattered to me then I might, but honestly it doesn't so I have no desire to waste hours of my life trying to change your mind, sorry if thats blunt but I have better things to be doing.

 

There's not much we agree on politically but this is one of them. If you want a better world you have to fight for it. I do think social media as a part to play in. A lot easier to organise things then the old land line telephone.

 

Do you think your opinion matters to anyone? But you still offer it.
Bet you were always the one who took his bat and ball home.

 

It was someone quoting results of a poll on radio. Of course you can decry it but then you would have to do the same with any other similar ones.Like the claims it was older voters which ensured a Leave victory.

According to Angus Young the only ward in Hull which voted for Remain was The Avenues. No surprise there in some ways.
After the landslide Leave vote in Hull, contrary to what all the local Labour MPs and councillors wanted, let's hope the voters show the same independence of thought in the next local and general,elections.

 

Everyones opinion will matter to someone, you're just taking offence because yours doesn't particularly matter to me.

 

True, Obadiah. But at least we have the intellectual capacity to engage in discussions on these, and other matters, as we have done for a few years now. Unlike the likes of AirlieTiger.

 

When I'm retired and have nothing else to do than waste my time arguing with strangers on the internet we can 'engage in discussions' until the cows come home, until then I'm off to enjoy life.

 

I couldn't give a stuff what you think about my opinion or anything else. However, you shouldn't be on a forum where people can reply as discussion obviously stretches your limited intellectual capabilities. And, discussion, debate and argument is actually the reason for a forum.

 

listen ****... **** off Katie Hopkins and then you can talk to me........
maybe You, Katie and PMT can have a 3some, silly ****s.

 

You aren't so busy enjoying life that you don't feel the need to come on here and argue with strangers. But, having no sense of irony you wouldn't be aware of this.

 

yet, I bet you still voted for the twat.

 

Like I said if you want a better life you have to fight for it.

Talking to people on the internet is little different than writing and receiving letters, talking on the phone or moaning about the state of the world in the pub until its time to go home.

 

I'm out but youth is our future and in a more protectionist UK with proper immigration controls post-brexit governments need to do more for young people, in education, jobs and housing.

 

****ing immigrants coming over here and stealing our ****ing jobs.

 

the government could have done all of this before, including training more doctors & nurses & teachers and building hospitals and schools to cope with the increase in population. many of the things people are complaining about weren't the fault of the EU, they were the (in)actions of our own government - who were happy for other parties to take the blame if it took the pressure of them.

As it is, nothing will change, so who are you going to blame in 5 years time when it still takes 3 weeks to get a GP appointment and the kids are taught by TAs as there aren't enough teachers..

 

Into London?

 

I'll think about your wise words on my hike around Lake Louise this afternoon.
